The great detective Sherlock Holmes drinks his whisky with water in the first Arthur Conan Doyle book featuring Holmes, 'A Study in Scarlet.'
This is a fancy whisky and water – the flavor of the alcohol still definitely shines through the tea, so be sure to pick one you enjoy drinking: peaty Scotch whiskies work beautifully.
